The Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX), a Ballistic Missile Defense Organization satellite, was launched in April 1996. The first ten months of the mission were devoted to mid-infrared observations with a solid hydrogen-cooled telescope. This instrument had five line-scanned focal plane arrays that spanned the spectral region from 4.2 to 26 microns.
The Mid-Infrared Galaxy Atlas (MIGA) is a high resolution image atlas of the Galactic plane at 12 microns and 25 microns, it has been produced using the HIRES processed infrared data from the IRAS satellite. It is a counterpart to the far-infrared IRAS Galaxy Atlas (IGA) and the Extended IRAS Galaxy Atlas (EIGA).
The NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) provides a comprehensive fusion
of multi-wavelength data for hundreds of millions of objects located beyond
the Milky Way galaxy. As new observations are published in NASA mission
archives, journal articles and sky survey catalogs, they are cross-identified
with prior measurements and integrated in a unified database. Numerous derived
quantities are also provided to facilitate scientific research. For more

NED service to query for Objects by Reference Code:
The NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) provides a comprehensive fusion
of multi-wavelength data for hundreds of millions of objects located beyond
the Milky Way galaxy.
This service searches NED's master list of extragalactic objects by (19 digit)
journal reference code. It returns object names, positions, and
redshifts if available. It also returns counts of bibliographic references, notes,
photometry, positions, redshifts, diameters, and positional associations.
The Southern H-Alpha Sky Survey Atlas is the product of a wide-angle
digital imaging survey of the H-alpha emission from the warm ionized
interstellar gas of our Galaxy. This atlas covers the southern hemisphere
sky (declinations less than +15 degrees). The observations were taken with
a robotic camera operating at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO)
in Chile. The atlas consists of 2168 images covering 542 fields. There are four
images available for each field: <b>H-alpha</b>, <b>Continuum</b>, <b>Continuum-Corrected</b>
(the difference of the H-alpha and Continuum images), and <b>Smoothed</b> (median filtered to 5 pixel, or 4.0 arcminute, resolution to remove star residuals better). The <a href="https://amundsen.swarthmore.edu/SHASSA">SHASSA website</a> has more details of the data and the status of this and related projects. Images can also be
obtained from the <a href="https://amundsen.astro.swarthmore.edu/SHASSA/#Images">Download Images</a> section at the SHASSA site. Provenance: John E. Gaustad (Swarthmore College), Peter R. McCullough (University of Illinois), Wayne Rosing (Las Cumbres Observatory), and Dave Van Buren (Extrasolar Research Corporation). This is a service of NASA HEASARC.
The Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic Survey
Short Name:
SWIRE
Date:
27 Oct 2022 19:00:00
Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
* A wide-area, high galactic latitude imaging survey conducted using the Spitzer MIPS far-infrared and IRAC mid-infrared cameras. The satellite data will be complemented by an extensive program of ground-based optical, near-infrared and radio observations.
The VSOP (the VLBI Space Observatory Programme) 5 GHz AGN (Active Galactic Nuclei) Survey Program Analysis Data
Short Name:
HALCA_AGN
Date:
27 Mar 2025 01:27:35
Publisher:
JVO
Description:
A significant fraction of the mission time of VSOP was to be dedicated to the VSOP Survey Programme of bright compact Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) at 5 GHz, which was lead by ISAS. The VSOP Survey Sources are an unbiased dataset of 294 targets, of which 82% were successfully observed.
The WiggleZ Project Data Archive.
The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey is a survey of 240,000 emission-line galaxies measured with the AAOmega spectrograph of the 3.9-m Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). The aim of the survey is to measure the scale of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) imprinted on the spatial distribution of these galaxies. The survey will sample a volume of 1 Gpc3 over an area on the sky of 1000 square degrees with an average target density of 350 galaxies per square degree.
The survey commenced in August 2006 and was completed in January 2011.
